I am beginning to think that the only time a gambler gambles for fun is only when he gambles with what he can afford to lose. In this case, a gambler has $10,000 as his savings, and he gambles with $1000 down, he or she won't feel sad when they lose it (it means they gambled for fun). But if a gambler who has the same $10,000 gambles for above $5,000, and he loses all of them, the gambler won't be happy about his actions, and it might result in chasing of losses (which means he didn't gamble for fun). It means that both those that say they aren't gambling for fun sometimes gamble for fun, mostly when they risk an amount they can afford to lose. The actual time you gamble for fun is when you risk what you can afford to lose and not when you say you want to gamble for fun. However, a gambler might say he will gamble for fun and still end up not gambling for fun when he starts gambling. One can know a responsible gambler if he starts gambling.

I noticed on the news that a man won a lottery and when he arrived to claim his prize, he was requested to state or provide information about where he purchased the lottery ticket, which he couldn't do because he didn't know where he obtained it. It drew my interest, and I wondered if forum users could still tell where they purchased all of their lottery tickets in the previous six months (For those who still engage if physical tickets).

A little guessing the thoughts of casino owners and gambling dealers when they see gamblers playing in their casinos, what might come to mind?

The name of the business is opening a casino definitely wants to make a profit, while people who come to the casino to seek profit too, although not all, but focus on one object of people seeking profit.
If you were the owner of the casino, what would you think when people like that gamble at your place?

Like this is an open broad day match fixing, I do wonder how some teams are able to score their opponents so many goals upto even 20 goals and above i begin to think if they suddenly converted the game into a basket ball match to score that large numbers of goals lol because it's so strange how a team can beat their opponent as many goals to the extent of scoring 43 goals just for them to top the league table with a goal difference, like this is the highest match fixing of the century if you ask me. Well such a thing happens more in all this junior leagues no team can try such in senior leagues except that club want to be banned from playing.

Since most youths have seen that social media skit makers are cashing out big and living expensive lifestyles, we've noticed a majority of youths creating content up and down some of which are too irrelevant and contribute nothing to the viewers. They just want to get paid and since they want to get the required views and followers before their account is monetized, they are willing to go to any extent just to look for views including showing nudity and spreading false and unverified news just to attract their audience. In the end, some of them luckily get their accounts monetized and earn from it pulling up more crowds into the sector as though it's the only source of wealth in the digital space.

For us at this end, we know that ours isn't as loud as that of content creators and most of us normally enjoy doing things on the low key to avoid too much attention from our financial agencies since it appears as though they have a thing against us. For the traders, we know the risk involved and that it could get too good at some point or get bad at some other time, and then for the long-term investor, we know that our return doesn't come within a short space of time compared to most verified content creators that are currently earning from their page.

Which is more profitable? Content creators or crypto traders/investors.

The Champions league is very competitive, a league among champions from different leagues is supposingly to be a tough one and for Madrid to keep on winning it shows their greatness compared to other champions. This coming Champions league will be a tough one compared to the last, each qualified teams are currently on a good form to withstand as much  competitor so the fight for the title won't be an easy one but yet Madrid still has it at the tip of their fingers as they are more likely the favourites to win it again. Manchester City will put on a good fight same with Arsenal and probably among the best from Leverkusen base on peoples speculation.

A change in the Liverpool team would be good, but such an experienced coach should not be changed.  Although the performance of Liverpool team players has been very poor at present, as I have placed two bets on Liverpool team in the last month or so I have lost there. So I will definitely talk about their performance but it will be best if they change and the team can perform stronger.

Bayern Munich centre-back transferred Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart. Bayern Munich started the transfer season very quickly. To be honest, they need to spend well to build the best squad. Such a giant team finished last season without a trophy. With the reinforcement of Hiroki Ito, Bayern Munich has strengthened its defense well and with Min-jae Kim at centre-back, there is curiosity about how these two will adapt.

Todd Boehly is an impatient person while Pochettino is late in making improvements to his team it is only at the end of the season that he does so while throughout the season Pochettino did a very poor job so the board of directors considered whether or not to keep him but obviously Pochettino had to go.

Do you believe Jackson would have been better under Pochettino? But we know Palmer is better than Jackson.
For me he is not a great player needs to adjust again with the new coach Maresca, yes maybe Jackson will shine more with Maresca.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

Alot of the sentiment on this thread over the last few days have been largely centered on Madrid winning the title for the second time in a row. As much as they're the true kings of the tournament and are in a really great place right now where they can perform and compete with any team right now, I'm not 100% certain that they can win it yet. A lot of twists and turns are gonna be there and like all football games, the best teams don't always win and I can see that happening with Madrid. There are teams that could still handle them well in the UCL.

My options are still open even though my default, biased choice is going to be Liverpool.

Yes, Liverpool’s prospects are vague, but regarding getting into the Champions League there is also a positive option: if England can surpass either Italy or Germany in the UEFA rankings, then there will be 5 spots for EPL. But in any case, restructuring in Liverpool is overdue and it’s good if it takes a couple of seasons. By the way, it will be interesting if City is thrown out of the Premier League, and Liverpool is feverishly rushing to be able to compete with Arsenal... such a season would be interesting to watch.

Bitcoin is becoming popular in Nigeria and there are many people who are interested to invest in it, but the question they do not know is how to invest or where to invest. The answer is becoming difficult to give them because of how our governments is, and scammers knowing this can take advantage of these people.
We are not so bortherd because because some of us receive stipends from a signature campaigns we often do not bother ourselves we how to get bitcoins for DCA. But with the difficulty with using banks for crypto trading with exchanges, where and how can someone buy bitcoins or other coins?

gambling is different from trading and this matter has come to this forum severally and the many people have air it out with different reasons and different opinions so what I'm saying is that that thing you see that is similar between gambling and trading is only the risk but when you come in terms of participation you will understand that the gambling is totally different from from trading because trading have a skill that you can operate with and when you learn trading and understanding the principles of trading you will be able to make a good profit but in gambling it cannot learn gambling and the escape risk when you are in totally so that is different thing between gambling and the trading

Yes mbappe must not be God for People to see that his performance is still showing at his young age, for comparing human with not is not a corrolated comparison, mbappe still all it take to go fat in the game if football he age is still favourable for him, him joining real Madrid is a good move , the game style of Madrid and their style of wining game can push him far.

The young man is full of energy to exercise and u don't think his going to slack in making the people proud if people around him truly works as a team because he can't do it alone no matter the energy.

Ever since Bitcoin was introduced in our country, it has been a huge help to us by providing job opportunities, etc.

It has help us eradicate poverty, that is we can be earning through it by working online such as this Bitcointalk, and also it has help reduce crime in our society today, because assuming Bitcoin was never introduce or we don't have the idea of Bitcoin in our society today, the high rate of crime would have been something else but with this Bitcoin now, which has been helping the people to eradicate poverty from our family.

Ten Hag is not a bad coach but he couldn't get the good result they wanted to see in Manchester United and he also had a bad relationship with some players. In fact, he does very hard training for players and people say he will even punish players if they have bad performances which makes players to think he is a bad coach when he is not. I think Ten Hag can even stay there in Manchester United for a longer time because of the performance he has there.
  

The last time Guardiola participated in real competition was in Barcelona, ​​where he was kicked out by Mourinho For me, it is extremely doubtful that he will take on any project where titles will not be guaranteed, even taking into account the last two seasons in Serie A where teams became champions in a dominant style there is serious competition.
First, he will wait until the fight between the League and City ends. If the cheaters win, then there will be no point in leaving.

I think we all experience the same thing about that situation like deciding when to cash out can be tough and often causes second thoughts and regrets. For example, when I place a bet I find it hard to cash out because I always think the game will end well, but then regret not cashing out later. It's always important to have try to cash out once the game is well underway to avoid this such disappointment/regrets.
